Before You Begin

  • Prep Your Canvas: Dampen your canvas with clean water using a big soft brush or a mister. This helps acrylics stay workable and makes blending easier.
  • Pre-moisten Your Palette: Use a water sprayer or lightly damp paper towel beneath your paint blobs to keep your acrylics from drying too fast.
  • Keep Tools Ready: Gather a 4” square brush, large oval brush, filbert brush, detailed square and round brushes, ultra-soft blending brush, palette knife, liner brush, and clean towels for wiping.

Essential Painting Tools

  1. 4” Square Brush – For large area coverage and blending backgrounds.
  2. Large Oval Brush – Useful for soft blending and creating smooth transitions.
  3. Filbert Brush – Great for softer edges and blending landforms and highlights.
  4. Detail Square Brush – For adding precise highlights, details, and cloudwork.
  5. Round Brush – Perfect for painting tree silhouettes and organic shapes.
  6. Ultra-Soft Blending Brush – For final blending and smoothing out brush strokes.
  7. Palette Knife – Ideal for adding sparkling effects and creating crisp edges, especially in the water.
  8. Liner Brush – Best for detailing, such as thin grass and finishing sparkles.
  9. Clean Towels or Paper Towels – For wiping brushes and removing excess moisture or paint during blending.

Be sure to also have a water container for rinsing brushes and a palette for mixing your paints. Happy Painting!
